Izuku was feeling horrible right now and there was one reasons why. The reason was the input and his senses, since Izuku gotten his powers if he is near or in a populated area his enhanced hearing, smell, taste, and touch will all hit him at once and as for his enhanced vision, since his vision was already good the spider bite made it to where now there was too much input for him to handle. Right now Izuku and Ai are in a police car with Detective Tsukauchi and Eraser Head, they were heading to the police station where Ai's parents are at, so during the time they were heading there Izuku was calming Ai down by asking about what she likes and when she said who her favorite hero was he went with that.
He was able to get Ai to talk and calm down so that was good, but trying to do that while enduring his enhanced senses and the input from his vision was a bit difficult. But he had to act like nothing is wrong since he doesn't want Detective Tsukauchi and Eraser Head to notice what's going on with him, so he had to put up with it until he was able to go home so while he was talking to Ai Eraser Head spoke up.
"Hey kid I have a question to ask you."
"H-Huh..?"
"How did you know who I am?"
"…Um….What do you mean?"
"I mean how did you know who I am? I made sure not even the media knows who I am since only few know me."
"Oh…Well even though there were hardly any videos and pictures of you, there were rumors of a hero who can erase quirks. I'm a big hero nerd so that's how I know, and also because of your goggles."
"Hmmmm… I see."
After a good 10 minutes they made it to the police station, but during that time Izuku was able to get Ai to smile, once they got out the car and went inside the police station he saw his mom, Izumi, and two other people who he assume are Ai's parents. Before he knew it he was already hugged by his mom and sister, the same was for Ai who was crying finally being reunited with her parents, after a few minutes of crying Ai's parents were thanking Izuku for saving their daughter, Detective Tsukauchi had more to say to them so he brought them to an empty room. Izuku was allowed to leave with his mom and sister but he had something to say to Eraser Head, when he got his attention they both went to a corner where no one can hear their conversation and Izuku hesitated to ask his question but he knew that since Eraser Head was the closest thing to a quirkless person he asked the same question he asked All Might only for Eraser Head to say…
"You can't be hero without a quirk."
Hearing this Izuku couldn't help but lower his head and look down at the floor, it didn't hurt as much as what All might said but it still hurt. At this point Izuku drive to become a hero completely died, but Eraser Head wasn't finish talking.
"Kid I know what your thinking so I'm going to tell you this. Don't try to deny it because you know this to but your trying not to face reality, but it's time you face it because if you keep this up then you are only hurting yourself. You can be a hero, but you can't be a pro hero without a quirk. If you try to be a pro hero then your going to be at a BIG disadvantage, you will be going up against villains with quirks that are so dangerous that your basically committing suicide. I maybe the closest thing to a quirkless person but I only got this far because of my quirk, training, knowledge, and I'm never alone, even though I prefer to work alone I know there are things I can't do by myself. I understand that you want to be a pro hero but you can't…..but you can be a hero, there are other occupations were you can still save lives, It may not be the same as a pro hero but they are still saving lives. So as long as you save someone life and even more then to them you are a hero in their eyes, look… you see that little girl you saved? To her you are her hero."
When Eraser Head finished talking Izuku looked to where he was pointing and saw Ai….the kid he saved, the more he talked the more it made Izuku come to terms that he couldn't be a pro hero. Hearing this Izuku felt that it was time to stop trying to be a pro hero, so with that he thank Eraser Head then went back to his mom and sister. On his way to them he heard Detective Tsukauchi talking to a police officer about two cases, apparently there is a bird like creature stealing diamonds and a burglar stealing from the rich, Izuku continue walking to his him mom and sister. When they were ready to leave Ai gave him one final hug and her parents thank him one last time, after that both families went home.
1 hour later
The Midoriya family made it back home, during that time on the way back Izuku was thinking about what he should do with his life now that he was done trying to be a hero…..no a pro hero, he still wants to help people but not in the way that doesn't involve being a pro hero. Honestly, he was stuck on what to do and decided to think about it tomorrow so maybe then he might have a idea on what to do going forward. Once the family enter their house they ate dinner, after dinner Izuku went into his room and noticed the All Might merch he has all over his room, it was time to get rid of it but first he need to finish his homework, then hid the spider so his mom and Izumi won't ask anything about it, then get rid of the All Might merch.
15 minutes later
"Finally now I'm all done."
Thanks to Izuku enhanced intelligence it didn't take him long to finish his homework, after he finish it he took out the glass jar containing the spider but remember he didn't have anywhere to hid it so he went to a drawer that had all his notebooks on heroes and took them out and put hid the spider there. Since he wasn't going to be a pro hero anymore he didn't need his notebooks and decided to throw them away, as for his All Might merch he decided to sell them so he went outside of his room and went to a door that had cardboard boxes and took it to his room.
"Hm? Bro what are you doing?"
"I'm getting rid of my All Might merch."
"HUH?! Why? Aren't you a fan?"
"I don't need them anymore. I…I'm not a fan of him…not anymore"
"Izumi what's going on?"
"Izuku getting rid of his All Might merch."
"HUH?! Izuku aren't you a fan? Why are getting rid of your merch?"
Izuku then explain to them that he met All Might on the day of the sludge incident and told him what All Might said, hearing this they felt bad that All Might the number one hero said Izuku couldn't be hero, the both of them knew that since Izuku couldn't be pro hero since he doesn't have quirk but hearing it from your own idol must hurt a lot. Izuku told them not to worry since it was about time he face it instead of ignoring it and that it was time for him to look elsewhere, he then started to take down and put all his merch the boxes and told them that he was going to sell his merch since others would want them more. Once Izuku finished Izumi told him that since he can't be a hero she will be one for the both of them and make both their dream come true, hearing this Izuku smiled and gave her a head pat causing her to be embarrassed.
After she left Izuku was by himself now in his room, he was glad that he used today to get used to his powers but he still had to get better at using them since he didn't want everyone to get suspicious of him. For now what was on the top of his to do list was his senses because he spent 8 hours learning his powers he had enough time to know how much strength and speed he needed to use to not gain any attention when he comes back to school, as for his hands sticking to things that needed a bit more work since there are times his hands would stick to something he wasn't trying to stick to but he was getting there, he also learn that he can also stick to things with his feet as well but it only works if he isn't wearing shoes which made him try to see if he can stick to walls which worked but when crawled a bit higher he started slipping but with more work he will get it down.
Once he gets wall crawling out of the way he would focus on his senses, since he will be back to school on Monday he knows if he doesn't get the hang of his sense he will regret it. Now that he got his goal for tomorrow he got ready for bed and went to sleep, only for him to start to hear, smell, taste, and feel everything around him, knowing he won't be able to go to bed like this he decided to use this to train so he can go to bed but it was good since this will help him get used to it.
Morning
It was Sunday now, Izuku already had breakfast with him mom and sister and was making his way to Takoba Municipal Beach Park to train his wall crawling and enhanced senses so when he comes back to school he will be good. But one the way there Izuku was wondering what he should do now that he wasn't aiming to be a pro hero, he thought about it since he woke up but couldn't come up with everything, he didn't want tov pick a occupation that involve helping people since it will only serve as a reminder he can't be a pro hero.
But before he can keep thinking an arm went over his shoulder and he look at who it was, it appeared to be a man who looked to be in his forties with slick black hair and a mustache, he was very buff and looked to be tall around All Might chest, he smiled at Izuku at said something that shocked him.
"You are hired."
"Huh? Hey what are you doing?!"
The man picked Izuku up and threw him on his shoulder and started walking, people saw this and decided to ignore much to Izuku dismay. Throughout the whole walk Izuku tried to get the man to let him go but he ignored him, after 30 minutes they reached a store Izuku hasn't been before and was inside. Once inside the man put Izuku down and told him to follow him, Izuku turned around and went back to the entranced only for the man to block him, seeing that the man wouldn't let him leave he decided to follow if it meant he can leave. Now looking around the place he didn't know what the name of this store should be, inside the store was comics, manga, anime, and video games. The more they walked Izuku wonder where the works were only for the man to say that they only work on Mondays through Fridays, after hearing that something caught his attention. It was a fanart of people he heard about and saw on the internet, it was the Vigilantes Of Naruhata, the man noticed Izuku looking at it and mentioned how even though they weren't heroes the people they saved saw them as heroes. Hearing that Izuku realized something, he didn't have to become a pro hero…..he can become a vigilante, if he becomes a vigilante he can save people like how he always wanted since it's the closest thing to a hero. Now he knows what to use his powers for, he will have to figure this out later before making a final decision so for now he continued to follow the man.
The man went into a room that looks to be an office and sat down in a chair by the desk facing the door, he asked Izuku to sit. Once Izuku sat down he introduced himself and said his name was Akihiko, he wanted Izuku to work for him to which Izuku refused and asked why he picked him. Apparently, he said that Izuku had a face of someone who was stuck on what they should do with their life, well he wasn't wrong but Izuku wasn't going to work for him and made his way out the door.
"Are you sure you want to leave?"
"Huh? What do you mean?
"Your allowed to leave if you want to but…are you sure you want to leave? Have you figure out what to do with your life going forward? You seem to have something on your mind, I'm willing to hear you out. You might find an answer to what you want to do going forward. You never know."
"….."
Izuku pondered on what to do, he wanted to leave but Akihiko was right about him stuck on what he should do, if he becomes a vigilante then he needs something to do outside of his vigilante life, he doesn't want to pick a job that involves helping people since it will only remind him he can't be a pro hero and he doesn't want to feel like that, he wants to move from that so he decided to sit down and talk to Akihiko. He told him he was quirkless and how he wanted to be a hero…well pro hero but can't since he doesn't have a quirk and how he didn't want to pick a job helping people because it will only remind him that he can't be a pro hero who saves people.
Once he finish Akihiko told Izuku again that he was hired and should work for him, Izuku told him he will think about it more and Akihiko told him he will be seeing Izuku tomorrow after school and that Izuku won't regret it. Izuku asked if his quirk was to see the future only to be told that Akihiko quirk was a fire type and that was he has a feeling Izuku would come to work for and that he should be called boss when he comes in, he told Izuku to come to the store after school around 3:30pm so that way he could meet who he will be working with. With that Izuku left and continued his way to Takoba Municipal Beach Park so he can train with his powers.
2 hours later
Izuku made some good progress, he finally got used to his sticking ability but there are times he will end up sticking to something but it was good overall. Now what he wanted to use the most was that buzzing in his head, ever since last night Izuku concluded that the buzzing in his head only works when he is in danger but he wasn't going to put himself in danger for it to happen so he decided not to focus on it. He was now going to start training his enhanced senses so he can get used to them, but something happen that was bad for Izuku. He was in a populated area training his sense, thanks to last night he was doing alright but there was so much going on that it became too much to the point that when he open his eyes the input kicked in and now it got to a point he couldn't take it anymore but then something happen. Izuku then felt someone dragged him away from the area, when they were far away Izuku felt better and looked at who saved him only to see a man who looked to be in his mid-sixties, he has white hair, black sun glasses, and he is holding a white cane. Seeing this Izuku realized this man was blind, he thanked him for helping him and was about to leave until the old man spoke up.
"Do you want help training your senses?"
"Huh? How did yo-"
"I can tell, even though I can't see I saw that you were trying to do something and realized that you were trying to get use to your sense. I can help you if you want, maybe even train you how to fight."
"Thanks but I'm go-"
Before he realized it the old man had him on the ground, Izuku was surprised that the old man did that since he was blind because he was far away from him and yet the man knew where Izuku was standing and was able to get him on the ground before he even realized it.
"Now….do you want to learn?"
"…..Yes sir!"
With that Izuku training the old man begin, he taught Izuku how to use his senses, to know what was happening around him, and what the people near him were feeling, the training was tough since the old man knew that Izuku was a kid and that if he went to school the way he is then he will not make it though the end of school so he was going to make sure Izuku gets it by today.
6 hours later
The training was done, Izuku was able to get used to his enhanced senses to a point that he was able to be in a populated area now without it affecting him, his enhanced vision still had a lot of work to do since he was only training with his eyes closed and not open. The old man told him that he only got through the hard part and now he was going to help Izuku hone his senses and teach him how to fight, he gave Izuku a paper to where they would meet on Saturday and Sunday, Izuku asked for his name only to be told not to worry about it, after that he went home.
Once he got home he took a bath, ate dinner, and went into his room to think about if he should become a vigilante or not. He sat on his bed thinking about the pros and cons about being a vigilante, after thinking about it was a good hour he came to a decision, Izuku decided to become a vigilante. Finally coming to a decision Izuku went to sleep only to open his eyes and realize something, since he got spider powers….can he shoot webs. With that in mind Izuku try shooting webs from his wrist to see if anything would happen and did many poses but nothing happen, he then remember that spider shoot webs from their butt and as embarrassing as it is he tried to see if it would be the same for him, so he stick his butt out and tried for about five minutes only for nothing to happen which he was glad for. He can already imagine people laughing at him if he shoot webs out of his butt, but knowing that he can't shoot web Izuku came up with an idea to make web of his own, he remembered that he was going to sell his All Might merch so depending on how much money he can get from selling the merch he can make some. But it was probably for the best for him to use it in secret until he was ready to use it once he was ready to show himself as a vigilante in public, with that he got in his bed and went to sleep.
What's up guys! I hope you guys like this chapter, since Izuku going to be a vigilante I want him to have his own adventure until I get to the main story for mha. Like I said I wasn't going to go down that whole Peter Parker route because Izuku isn't peter so I felt that it was best for him to have his own reason to be a vigilante. That's all I have to say so bye!
